“In October, I was approached with a N5 billion bribe against the governor, but I refused,” Mr Ehie said.
Mr Fubara told journalists that Mr Amaewhule had been ignoring his calls.
The appellate court said that Mr Fubara had withdrawn his counter-affidavit at the Federal High Court.
Mr Fubara presented the 2024 budget when his current Chief of Staff, Edison Ehie, emerged as the speaker.
Mr Ehie’s lawyer, Oluwole Aladedoye, asked the court to set aside its earlier order issuing an arrest warrant for him because he was not invited for questioning.
The judge had, on January 31, issued a warrant for the arrest of Mr Ehie over his alleged involvement in the burning of part of Rivers Assembly.
Justice Bolaji Olajuwon, in a ruling, held that Mr Ehie, having not been joined as a defendant in the charge, lacked the legal right to make such a plea.
Mr Ehie appreciated his colleagues and his constituency.
It further stipulated that the officials’ relocation should start right away.
